WAT to MST Converter

Converting West Africa Time to Mountain Standard Time

West Africa Time (WAT) and Mountain Standard Time (MST) are separated by a 8 hours time difference. MST is 8 hours behind WAT. WAT is UTC+1, used in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, while MST is UTC-7, used in United States, Canada.

When converting from WAT to MST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM WAT equals 1:00 AM MST, 12:00 PM noon WAT equals 4:00 AM MST, and 5:00 PM WAT equals 9:00 AM MST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across WAT and MST

For professionals scheduling meetings between WAT and MST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 8 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

WAT does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+1 year-round. MST observes DST, switching to MDT (UTC-6). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
